                    [Title] => PAL plane overshoots runway in Tacloban
                    [Summary] => 





TACLOBAN CITY – The Daniel Romualdez Airport here was temporarily closed to traffic yesterday after a Philippine Airlines (PAL) plane overshot a runway. There were no injuries, company officials said. 


The nose wheel of the Airbus A320 burrowed into the ground after overshooting the runway on landing at around 7:01 a.m., making it difficult to remove it from the path, PAL spokesman Rolly Estabillo said.

Estabillo and PAL field manager Glenn Vallecera said none of the 113 passengers and six crewmembers were hurt.
